Aaron Wall briefly analyzes Wikipedia’s rankings for a number of very competitive terms, and for a few terms it does not rank well for, then suggests what Wikipedia could do to rank for virtually all terms. I love the simplicity of Aaron’s post! He’s right!

I suspect this is Aaron firing a shot back at Matt.

Actually it’s Giovanna Wall whom I believe who wrote the post, but very good as well.

"By fixing the above issues, they may very well rank for the remaining 11 keywords."Wikipedia has no interest in ranking for those terms.

Why would wikipedia rank for those terms?  No one is going to wikipedia to get information on "mortgage rates", "insurance quotes" or "loan consolidation".  These are commercial terms.  Its the same reason why wikipedia ranks third for the term "aruba", but does not rank for the term "book a trip to aruba" (at least not in the top 50).

I think you’ll need to give it a few more months yet. They only rank 6th on my browser right now :)

In fact, TheMadHat posted a similar post a couple months backhttp://www.themadhat.com/search-engines/wikipedia-has-the-answer/and Wikipedia dominates Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft alike.
